Recovering a File
You are investigating a case involving an employee who is allegedly sending inappropriate photos via e-mail in attachments that have been compressed with a zip utility. As you examine the employee's hard disk drive, you will find a file named orkty.zip, which you suspect is a graphic file. When you try to open the file in an image viewer, a message is displayed indicating that the file is corrupt.
Write a report explaining how to recover the file, orkty.zip, for further investigation in 350- to 700- words.
File Extensions
